She recommended inserts for my shoes for possible overpronation (when the foot rolls inward during movement), but more importantly, she showed me a simple stretch to do to address the nerve problem.

First I will say I personally like Dr. Schwartz. We share a common interest in automobiles…read more However, after many years as a patient, I had to bail. I have read the other reviews and noticed descriptions of Dr. Schwartz prescribing expensive orthotics. I had the same experience. He stated up front that there would be no refund if they didn't work, and that payment would be cash or check only. They most emphatically did not work, so I bid a sad farewell to my $500. One benefit of this practice is all the car magazines in the waiting room and exam rooms. Often I would be reading one and then carefully escort it out of the office to finish at home. The very last time I was there, I asked him if I could take the one I was reading. He thought about it, then said well, it was OK if I returned it THE NEXT DAY! What? I'm gonna drive an extra 90 miles to read his magazine? There's a pile of about 50 various magazines on the table in the waiting room. Do they carefully inventory all the People, Time and Sports Illustrated magazines, or just the car stuff? Seriously, Schwartz, were you kidding? You could have used my five hundred bucks and bought about 100 damn magazines. Sorry, I will calm down now. Anyway, I could talk cars with Dr. Schwartz all day, but I was pretty disappointed and insulted about this silly magazine issue. I should have ripped it off as usual. But overall, I advise seeking another practice which is less focused on relieving you of your cash for ineffective accessories.

His billing department is awful though. Just prepare to have to explain how the insurance payments and discounts work, as they will just bill you the full amount. It almost comes across as if it's deceptive, but I won't go as far to say that. Rather, it seems just incompetence. But the doc is great.

My husband has seen Dr. Scivally several times so I knew it was a good choice. The front desk staff person was super friendly.

I saw Dr. Drbal recently for a painful foot condition for which he suggested new shoes and…read moreorthotics. However, to my surprise, he did not conclude by trimming my overgrown toenails, something that past podiatrists have always done in the course of seeing me. Instead he flatly said that he didn't trim toenails--which leaves me stuck with finding another podiatrist who does. Is this non-trimming rule something laid down recently by the management at Sutter Health? Online sources warn against going to nail salons because of possibly careless hygienic practices there, so what can I do?

I arrived needing new CA Medicare insurance and a good orthopedist. I found the latter in Dr. Eric Ful- person. His office accepted me as a new patient and scheduled an appointment with him within a relatively short period of time.
